2 mobile phones on the same contract?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Does anyone whether or not this is possible e.g.

A 1000 anytime min and texts (£45/month) shared across two people which gives you 500 each (works out £22.50/month each)? (Just an example)

I'm sure this is discussed before just couldn't find it! Is it possible to add a handset to an existing contract or to start a new contract with 2 handsets.

Thanks all.

    Orange and BT-Mobile have contracts where more than one handset can share the minutes, tend not to be the best value(2 seperate contracts usually cheaper) but if that's what you want

    looking at BT-Mobile site 1000 mins a month is £95 a month with no texts, extra handset is £9.99 per month rental

    That is way too expensive. I thought it would work out a lot cheaper.

    the extra line rental for a 2nd handset usually negates the idea of it being cost effective as normally a single contract the minutes are subsidising the line rental you pay, the extra £10 for a handset comes with nothing

    a couple of the heavily discounted 3 contracts is probablly best, 500 mins and texts on each with either free or discounted line rental
